That’s exactly what Kim Soper of Leland Ave Studios is
asking. Not only is she asking the question, but she’s dedicated 2018 to interviewing
quilters as part of The Creativity Project on “why” they quilt.

This one is for all my quilters and sewers who have reached
out to ask me where to score fabric.

When I started sewing in 2011, I knew nothing about fabric.
I thought what I found at my big box fabric store was it. And then when I
started quilting in 2015 my eyes were opened, and I was introduced to the
beautiful world of quilting cotton. Names like Kona Cotton, Cotton + Steel,
Camelot Fabrics, Art Gallery Fabrics, RJR Fabrics; the wonderful list goes on
and I was spell bound. Connecting with quilters and perusing Instagram allowed
me to educate myself on the gorgeous collections beckoning me to create with
them.

New year, means a new Finish-A-Long series! And since my 2018 goals include trying to clear my WIP list, I figure joining in and logging my
proposed finishes for the quarter would be a good way to help keep me on track.

At the very least, it will force me to take stock of what I
have or, what will more likely be the case, what I haven’t gotten done each
quarter – ha!

I can’t believe how quickly the past year has flown by! That
could be due to a couple of things.

The first obvious reason is that I’m getting older – ha!
And, with that, time just seems to speed up every year!

It’s also been a really busy year with lots of personal and
professional growth and challenges (you can read more about some of the highlights from 2017 and what I have planned for 2018 here).
I’ve learned some really tough lessons, but came out the other end feeling
stronger and even more committed to my goals. Funny how that can happen 😉
